Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Premarin
Question: Prior to suffering a heart attack I was prescribed a daily pill of Cenestin because Premarin pills caused side effects such as vaginal burning and external irritations on my hands. Six months ago my doctor prescribed Premarin because of vaginal dryness and pain. Premarin and Estrace creams seem to cause an increase in discomfort and burning in the vaginal area. Then the product Vagifem, a pill, was prescribed and I was told this was not effective. After 5 days back to the Premarin cream the irritation internally and externally is returning. Is there a synthetic hormone cream treatment product available?
Brief Answer:
Phytoestrogen cream supplements or estradiol patch
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear
Welcome to HCM and thanks for the query
I can understand your concern
You can go for transdermal estradiol patch as pill was not effective.
It has been reported that patients who used estradiol patches seemed to be doing better than those taking pills.
It also cause lower side effect compare to pill.
You can also use Phyto Estrogen Cream Supplement like EstroCare. It is found to be a healthy alternative to estrogen pill.
Use loose cotton undergarment, use cetaphil emollient cream.
So you can ask your OB GYN specialist for patch or phytoestrogen cream application.
I think I have answered your query, If you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
